River shuttles returned this month after a two-year hiatus, more than a year and a half after the popular River Walk barge cruises resumed.
After shuttering operations due to the pandemic, Go Rio resumed its shuttle service from the Museum Reach to the River Walk this month.After weathering a pandemic shutdown and difficulty staffing back up, river shuttles are motoring along the River Walk for the first time in two years. 10-year contract with the city in 2017
The shuttles run along the San Antonio River between downtown and the Museum Reach, where the San Antonio Museum of Art and the Pearl are located, as well as points in between. The shuttle service resumed on March 12, just in time for spring break, General Manager Lee Talamantez said. “In order for us to successfully operate, we need a certain number of captains and a certain amount of staff admissions to be able to provide all the services,” he said. “We were facing every challenge that every operator in every hospitality tourism industry faces …We could not find [barge] captains to come in.”
“The intention was always to introduce all of our services at a slow pace, just simply to abide by the [pandemic] restrictions and how the pandemic was affecting everything and so forth, but the primary reason was always staffing,” said Talamantez.
